tasty bits for your iPhone

Voices 2 released

I’m happy to announce that a big update to our #1 hit app,Voices, is now available. Like Voices 1, Voices 2 was created in conjunction with the fine chaps at Taptivate.

Here are some of the things that are new in it…

Voices 2 contains 9 awesome new voice effects, raising the total to 27. The new ones are:

Of course, we’ve redone all the graphics for retina display for all of you with an iPhone 4 or latest generation iPod touch.

We’ve included a new “echo” feature so that you can test out each voices effect before you start recording. And you’ll no longer have to wait around for your recordings to be processed because it’s all done MUCH faster now.

Our most commonly requested feature has been to be able to change your recordings to the various voice effects and you’ll be happy to know that you now can.

A couple of other cool, new things are the ability to send your recordings via text message and the ability to switch between your AirPlay speakers right within the app (which makes for a great prank!).

Voices 2 is a free upgrade for existing users. And if you don’t already own it, you can join the 600,000 users and grab it for the super-low 99¢ intro price. It also makes the perfect stocking-stuffer so consider gifting it to anyone who loves having fun with their iPhone or iPod touch.

Camera+ news

On a side note, for those of you who’ve been clamoring to hear some news on the ultimate photo app, Camera+, we’ve got some great stuff for you… our newest version is now finished and in review in the App Store, so it should be available anytime now.

What’s new in it? Well, we’ll save that as a surprise for you, but it’s our biggest update yet. I promise that you won’t be the least bit disappointed with it, so get ready for it…

tap tap tap is a leading iPhone and iPad app developer and publisher.

We’ve been creating top-notch apps since the App Store first opened. Our apps are used by literally tens of millions of people in all corners of the world. A few of our favorite and most popular apps we’ve created are:

Sorry, won’t be buying Camera+ anymore. You lost all credibility with your prolonged silence and utter lack of care. I won’t risk getting screwed over again. After all I bought Convert, now abandonware (STILL not updated for iPhone 4’s display!).

I have to agree with the others who feel your complete silence for the last four months was highly unprofessional. And that was on top of trying to sneak in a feature that has already been specifically rejected by Apple.

I’ll look at the new version if it’s free update to previous version but I won’t be giving you anymore of my money. I really can’t recommend anything you could do that would restore my respect for you. Camera+ has been replaced by ProCamera on my phone.

I switched to ProCamera, too! Regular updates, good customer service (or customer service at all!). I think you could have told us disappointed customers what’s going on.. Sorry, another not returning customer..

I guess people have a right to be angry, but I don’t get it. Even with all the silence, my camera+ app has kept working and I’ve used it and loved it everyday. For the price I paid for it - it that would have been the last version I see, it would have been fine. Oh yeah, and I also enjoy the volume trigger.

As long as you keep making great releases - you have my money. Update and support in the ios world ( and prices ) is nice, but I certainly am not going to feel all entitled after spending $4 bucks.

I have to agree with the comments about abysmal customer service. It’s only luck that Camera+ still works on iOS 4.2; I’m sure you’re aware there were keyboard problems on 4.1… what if the iOS update had killed the app altogether? Would you have cared? I and many people are leaning towards “no” based on the comments already.

I’ll be looking at the Camera+ update but, have also defected to ProCamera in the last couple of weeks and have a much better feeling about those guys.

I’m afraid you won’t be getting any more money from my family of iOS devices, nor through the MacHeist bundle; you’ve only got yourselves to blame.

Still have it on my computer (I love being able to keep apps on my computer like that) and will reinstall shortly, once I get a new Apple sync cable.

Can’t wait, and I sincerely hope you fixed the stupid problem with the photos losing their EXIF data the minute you exported any photos to the Camera Roll. I will most definitely be checking that out.

Also, I think I found something to talk about for my Thursday blog post, too. I’m going to probably talk for a bit about how much I loved Camera+, even though I’m still on an iPhone 3G and cannot even so much as use all the amazing features you guys packed into that app!

And as far as the way too long wait time for news, I understand that fully. If it were me, I wouldn’t want anyone to know that a) I was still working on the app, and b) that I was adding additional cool bonus features for the app’s glorious return to the App Store on top of resubmitting for approval.

Camera+ has been stable and the main stay app on my phone Almost switched to ProCamera but their editor looks like crap. If you guys have added video camera support thats all I need. Stoked your coming back!

Of course I will gladly embrace the new Camera+ update! I loved this app and I’m thrilled you guys are back….BUT in all seriousness you have definitely damaged your credibility and will have to earn customer trust back. Even I’m a little nervous going forward about your customer service. You’re not off to a good start there by not addressing the absence and apologizing to those who needed help with your apps but got no response. Even a little would go a long way right now. Other camera apps with your features have debuted and are successful so you may be in for some humble pie in the App Store. Ball’s in your court.

I am certainly happy that camera+ is back in the store!
I bought your voices app to help you guys financially. And I think my girlfriend and I will have fun with the app too

I don’t know where you guys have been for 4 months, but I’m excited for the return of this app! I have that camerapro app. But it just doesn’t feel the same. I deleted camera+ because of that bug where it would take pictures on its own. Then tried to reinstall all to the dismay that it had been lost from the app store..

I hope you get the geotagging right. And HDR! that’s one thing camerapro doesn’t have. Along with it missing your amazing UI

Am I the only one iTunes wants to charge $1.99 to install this version? As many others have posted, we feel like you really don’t care about your customers and don’t communicate well. So if this isn’t a free upgrade I’m done. And that iTunes is asking me to pay again isn’t looking good.
